Cultivarea şi extracţia uleiurilor volatile obţinute din soiuri noi de busuioc (Ocimum basilicum L., fam. Lamiaceae)

he paper presents the experimental research carried out within INMA Bucharest regarding the cultivation of two new varieties, ‘Aromat de Buzau’and ‘Serafim’,created by SCDL Buzau.These belong to the two varieties of basil(Ocimum basilicum L., Lamiaceae) yellow and purple, which were grown in the agricultural years 2017 and 2018, years that were different in terms of agrometeorological conditions.It also presents the method for obtaining vegetal extracts (volatile oil and floral water), obtained by processing the vegetal raw material while applying a process based on water vapour pressure distillation. Extractionyields obtained are presented comparatively.The results are the premises for obtaining new products with a high market value, which can be applied in the future for vegetable crops protection in greenhouses and solariums
